I truly hope your plan works for you. A month after going from 7.5 to 5mg, I stepped down to 2.5 about five or six days ago, the sh*t hit the fan yesterday. The zaps are mild, but anoying, I have some new shooting pains in my head a couple times an hour, I am aggitated, angry, unfocused and I have a brief to finish at work. I took 200mg Ibuprofin and .25 of Xanax, it seems to help. I know that not everyone has the same side effects or withdrawl experiences, so best of luck to you. If you and your pdoc agree that Paxil is not right for you, get off it and stay off whether it takes a month or 18 months. Take care.
